So few people seem to understand the obvious:  the Chris Klieman hire actually started with the Gene Taylor hire.  Taylor was hired to get Klieman, it was the plan all along.  There were interviews for the window dressing of the process, but Klieman was targeted years ago.  We hired Taylor so we could hire Klieman.

Explain how that's obvious, like how does that make any sense at all? What if Matt Campbell ended up at Tennessee last year and flood aggie offered Klieman a job?

Hiring gene to get Klieman is maybe the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen posted on this board.

I 100% bet gene floated this idea around a table in Iowa City.

This seems largely irrelevant to me. Yes, the $3m to Bill is absolutely a buyoff for being “retired.” It’s also absolutely true he deserves it....and some boosters made sure that outlay wouldn’t really hurt.

Regardless, if you pay CK “only” $1.5m, he’s constantly getting asked about it for the next 6 months, and K-State gets the reputation for being cheap going into searching for staff interviews and replacing folks down the road.

What's fishy to me is why we have so much influence from the state of Iowa :Yuck:

Our new head coach was taken from the lower division and is the lowest paid in the conference and isn't even making twice what our retired coach is.  I think prospective KSU football employees have a pretty good idea how we roll.

well i don't think we should overpay kleiman just so we don't look cheap. if we're worried about financial appearances than allow him to go out and BUY a couple of the best assistants that money can buy and show everyone that we are willing to spend money to win. don't waste it when you don't need to

go buy off whatever assistants are getting TCU and Baylor their best recruits. Buy off whatever missouri coach is covering saint louis area.
our current coaches have shown almost no ability to recruit the level of player necessary for us to compete with OU.
i would keep a couple of them and then remake the staff with strategic recruiting areas in mind.
but i think we will see a lot of holdovers and recruiting won't change at all
